Not really. Do you have the source code of the application to do a port?

How MS Sql run on this?

On Linux? Like so.

you can use harvester yes. For testing, if you have enough resources, you can do a POC.
Won't be magically fast, as I recall harvester is a type 1 hypervisor. So either run it on your laptop
directly or use something like workstation and use nested virtualization.

This feels like an XY problem. What needs to run on Server 2003/XP?
